- SF & more -Wir Kinder der Raketenbauer - „Wie die Erfahrung des Weltraums das menschliche Wahrnehmen, Denken und Handeln verändert“von Alexander Seibold(Hördauer 50 Minuten)Apollo 17 (7.12. – 19.12.1972) war der elfte bemannte und letzte Flug zum Mond. Insgesamt gab es sechs Mondlandungen im Rahmen des Apollo-Programms. Die Erde wird gelegentlich mit einem perfekten Raumschiff verglichen, auf dem die Menschheit durch das All reist. Der Astronaut James Lovell sagte einmal: „Was wir auf der Erde haben, erkennen wir erst dann, wenn wir sie verlassen.“ Der Fotograf dieser berühmten Fotografie ist leider unklar. Sicher ist nur, es war einer der Astronauten der Apollo 17-Crew: wohl Harrison Schmitt oder auch Ron Evans. (Foto: The prime crew for the Apollo 17 lunar landing mission are: Commander, Eugene A. Cernan (seated), Command Module pilot Ronald E. Evans (standing on right), and Lunar Module pilot, Harrison H. Schmitt. They are photographed with a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) trainer. Cernan and Schmitt will use an LRV during their exploration of the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The Apollo 17 Saturn V Moon rocket is in the background. This picture was taken at Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida.

Our first foray beyond Earth came to an end 50 years ago today. After three days in the Taurus-Littrow valley, Apollo 17 astronauts Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt headed to lunar orbit. They'd join crewmate Ron Evans for the long voyage home. At the time, it was clear that it would be a while before people returned to the Moon. But few expected it to take quite this long. NASA had planned three more Apollo missions. Each would aim at a challenging landing site with high scientific interest. But they were cancelled, either for budget reasons or to use the hardware for other projects. Over the following decades, NASA considered many ideas for follow-up missions. None of them ever took off. Today, though, the space agency says it's about ready to go back to the Moon with its Artemis program. It says astronauts could land on the Moon as early as 2025. But the program is way behind schedule and over budget. And one NASA review said 2025 isn't a realistic goal. Still, it seems likely that people will follow in the footsteps of Cernan, Schmitt, and the 10 other Apollo moonwalkers within the next few years. Shortly before he stepped off the Moon for the final time, Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan had a few words for those future moonwalkers: CERNAN: And as we leave the Moon and Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return: with peace and hope for all mankind.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

APOLLO 17: And there it is Houston, there's Camelot! Right on target! I see it! 38 degrees. MISSION CONTROL: Challenger, you're go for landing. APOLLO: 5,000 feet. 50 years ago today, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt were heading for the Moon. The Apollo 17 astronauts guided their lunar module, Challenger, toward a valley in the highlands — a mountainous region in one of the light-colored areas we see on the lunar disk. APOLLO: Stand by for touchdown. Stand by! It was the last of the six lunar landing missions of the Apollo program. APOLLO: Ten feet. Contact! Okay, Houston, the Challenger has landed! MCC: Roger, Challenger. That's super. APOLLO: Boy, you bet it is Gordo. Oh, man! Look at that rock out there. Absolutely incredible. Absolutely incredible. The epic moment of my life. Over the next three days, Cernan and Schmitt made three moonwalks. Using a battery-powered rover, they ventured almost five miles from their lander. And they gathered 250 pounds of samples. Some of the most exciting samples came from a patch of bright orange dirt, which decades later was found to contain water — one piece of evidence that the Moon is much wetter than anyone had expected during the Apollo days. Some other samples remained untouched until just a couple of years ago. They'd been sealed to avoid contamination. They were opened up to allow scientists to study them with tools and techniques that didn't exist when Apollo 17 brought them to Earth — a half-century ago. More tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The final Apollo mission arrived at the Moon 50 years ago today, as commander Gene Cernan reported from the command module, America: Houston, this is America, you can breathe easier. America has arrived on station for the challenge ahead. Apollo 17 was ambitious. Cernan and Jack Schmitt, a geologist, would spend three days on the Moon, in a valley known as Taurus-Littrow. It was picked because scientists thought it would give them a chance to sample two kinds of lunar terrain. One was the older material that forms the lunar highlands — the bright regions you see when you look at the Moon. The other was younger material produced by molten rock bubbling to the surface. Cernan was a veteran of two space flights. Schmitt had never flown before. He was added to the mission when NASA cancelled his flight, Apollo 18. That made him the first and only trained scientist to walk on the Moon. Crewmate Ronald Evans, also a space rookie, remained in orbit. He operated cameras and other instruments that studied the Moon below. The rocket firing that put them in lunar orbit went perfectly. And soon afterward, Schmitt reported something odd — the mission's first bit of science: Hey, I just saw a flash on the lunar surface. MISSION CONTROL: Oh, yeah? SCHMITT: It was a bright little flash. Scientists weren't sure if the flash was caused by the impact of a small space rock or an eruption from the Moon itself. Cernan and Schmitt landed the next day; more about that tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

In just DAYS (July 12, 2022), NASA will release the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope for the WORLD to enjoy …and Dean and Beth are on the edge of their seats (making bets on what we're about to see) and what it will mean for space exploration when we look further into the universe than ever before.   The world's largest and most complex space science observatory will now begin six months of commissioning in space! At the end of commissioning, Webb will deliver its first images. Webb carries four state-of-the-art science instruments with highly sensitive infrared detectors of unprecedented resolution. Webb will study infrared light from celestial objects with much greater clarity than ever before. The premier mission is the scientific successor to NASA's iconic Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, built to complement and further the scientific discoveries of these and other missions. AT THE TIME OF THIS RECORDING, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS NOT YET RELEASED FROM NASA, but check out what NASA has planned to look at in the universe!  HERE IS THE LIST!  NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a partnership with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency), will soon reveal unprecedented and detailed views of the universe, with the upcoming release of its first full-color images and spectroscopic data. Below is the list of cosmic objects that Webb targeted for these first observations, which will be released in NASA's live broadcast beginning at 10:30 a.m. EDT Tuesday, July 12. Each image will simultaneously be made available on social media as well as on the agency's website. These listed targets below represent the first wave of full-color scientific images and spectra the observatory has gathered, and the official beginning of Webb's general science operations. They were selected by an international committee of representatives from NASA, ESA, CSA, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. Carina Nebula. The Carina Nebula is one of the largest and brightest nebulae in the sky, located approximately 7,600 light-years away in the southern constellation Carina. Nebulae are stellar nurseries where stars form. The Carina Nebula is home to many massive stars, several times larger than the Sun. WASP-96 b (spectrum). WASP-96 b is a giant planet outside our solar system, composed mainly of gas. The planet, located nearly 1,150 light-years from Earth, orbits its star every 3.4 days. It has about half the mass of Jupiter, and its discovery was announced in 2014. Southern Ring Nebula. The Southern Ring, or “Eight-Burst” nebula, is a planetary nebula – an expanding cloud of gas, surrounding a dying star. It is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is located approximately 2,000 light years away from Earth. Stephan's Quintet: About 290 million light-years away, Stephan's Quintet is located in the constellation Pegasus. It is notable for being the first compact galaxy group ever discovered in 1877. Four of the five galaxies within the quintet are locked in a cosmic dance of repeated close encounters.  SMACS 0723: Massive foreground galaxy clusters magnify and distort the light of objects behind them, permitting a deep field view into both the extremely distant and intrinsically faint galaxy populations.   About James Webb Space Telescope  The James Webb Space Telescope's revolutionary technology will study every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe. Webb's infrared telescope will explore a wide range of science questions to help us understand the origins of the universe and our place in it.  Webb will directly observe a part of space and time never seen before. Webb will gaze into the epoch when the very first stars and galaxies formed, over 13.5 billion years ago. Ultraviolet and visible light emitted by the very first luminous objects has been stretched or “redshifted” by the universe's continual expansion and arrives today as infrared light. Webb is designed to “see” this infrared light with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity.  Webb will also be a powerful tool for studying the nearby universe. Scientists will use Webb to study planets and other bodies in our solar system to determine their origin and evolution and compare them with exoplanets, planets that orbit other stars. Webb will also observe exoplanets located in their stars' habitable zones, the regions where a planet could harbor liquid water on its surface, and can determine if and where signatures of habitability may be present. Using a technique called transmission spectroscopy, the observatory will examine starlight filtered through planetary atmospheres to learn about their chemical compositions.   ALL THE JWST Resources: https://webb.nasa.gov/index.html  And at the end of the show, we talked about LIGO.

Teams of scientists are digging into the Moon again. They’re nowhere near the lunar surface, though. Instead, they’re opening up samples collected by Apollo astronauts that have never been studied. The astronauts brought back more than 840 pounds of rocks and dirt. Most of those samples have been studied in some way. But a few were held back. Scientists wanted to wait for new instruments and techniques. They started digging in to a few of those samples in late 2019. And they’ll do a few more over the coming months and years. The first of the new samples is a core tube collected by astronaut Gene Cernan during Apollo 17, the final Apollo mission. Cernan drilled down about two and a half feet, filling the tube with layers of material that had piled up over millions of years. The core was split into two parts. Scientists opened the lower half first. The new studies have several goals. One is just to learn more about the Moon itself — about how its surface changed over millions of years, for example. Another is to help set goals for new sample-gathering missions in the years ahead. And a third is to evaluate how well the sample storage systems have worked over the past half-century — helping to get ready to dig in to the Moon once again. Look for the Moon in the east at nightfall, and arcing high across the southern half of the sky during the night. Regulus, the bright heart of Leo, is just a few degrees away.

Having many mentors in his quest to become an astronomer, Dean excelled at Physics & Astronomy.  The only problem I can see in becoming an astronomer is that I have trouble staying up at night. I was able to get around this situation by getting my Master's in Solar Physics. However, I did end up biting the astronomy bullet by doing research on Quasars and Galaxies. An early instructor of mine once said, “Dean, I don't understand how you can keep looking out the window and still get an "A" in my class." I responded to him by saying, "I hear and understand everything you're saying, but if I have questions, I'll ask. " That was my 6th grade science teacher Mr. Pederson. Dean went on to using major astronomical research centers in the Midwest, such as LARC Lindheimer Astronomical Research Center on the campus of Northwestern University and also Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago. Dean published 3 papers on his research. Published in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Being very outspoken, Dean was able to land a position at Marshall Spaceflight Center as a Public Affairs Officer. Beside his regular duties of promoting NASA, Dean was able to study computer programming.  This led Dean to do minor software programs for the space shuttle. Recruited by the Jet propulsion laboratory in California Dean’s position directly supported the MER program to Mars. Dean continues to actively promote NASA through his lectures to students and space enthusiasts throughout the Midwest.  Dean's passion for Space & Astronomy has led him on a quest to educate the public through his classes and lectures on Space & Astronomy.   Where to find Dean: www.TritionCollege.edu/Cernan www.HarperCollege.edu   More news coverage about this historic spacewalk: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/10/18/nasa-astronauts-international-space-station-first-all-female-spacewalk/4020056002/ and https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/10/nasa-first-all-female-spacewalk/600331/ and https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/in-space-news-conference-to-review-first-all-woman-spacewalk and  https://www.nasa.gov/johnson/HWHAP/women-of-jsc-apollo-to-artemis

This week, Beth gains a deeper understanding & appreciation on how COMPUTERS help NASA explore the cosmos with her returning guest and Resident Space Expert Dean Mikolajczyk. Here are the highlights: Dean shares his insights from his days as programmer for the MARS rovers Spirit and Opportunity! Dean explains how a democratic computer system works down to the second before a launch SAFE MODE (and why this feature on computers is so important). The reason why Space X lands on a barge… (it depends on the payload, and trajectory, and a few other things). It’s a beautiful partnership between computer software and hardware. Are the computer programmers the unsung heroes of our lunar landing successes? Dean answers this and all of my Casual questions on this fun episode.   Quotes from Dean here: “You can’t use computers for everything, you’ve got to use computers and people together.” “Humans are flawed. We’re also three miles from the launch pad. So even with binoculars, we couldn’t be able to see/ assess a problem, so let’s leave it up to the 20,000+ sensors on the external tank and on the Space Shuttle itself.” “I still think humans are the better judges behind the wheel.” “Behind the scenes, especially with the [Mars] rovers, from my point of view, you are constantly questioning, ‘did we do this, did we do that,’ the nice thing about working as a programmer is that you have teams, and we worked democratically.” “Data is flawed if you’re human, but that’s how we learn.”   About Dean: BS Technical Photography MS Astrophysics  NASA MER Mars program NASA Public Relations Astronomy instructor & lecturer   Where to find Dean: www.TritionCollege.edu/Cernan www.HarperCollege.edu

On this date in 1972, Eugene Cernan became the last man to walk on the moon. Here are some things you may not have known about Apollo 17. Apollo 17 was the first mission to be commanded by someone who was not a test pilot. Gene Cernan was a fighter pilot in the navy, and had more than 200 aircraft carrier landings. He served as pilot on Gemini 9A and lunar module pilot on Apollo 10, which was the dress rehearsal for the first moon landing. Cernan was joined on Apollo 17 by fellow naval aviator Ron Evans and Jack Schmitt, who was the first, and so far only, professional scientist to fly beyond low Earth orbit. The mission was classified as a “J” mission by NASA, meaning the crew would spend three days on the lunar surface, conducting several scientific excursions and using the Lunar Rover. During the mission, Cernan and Schmitt logged about 22 miles in the Lunar Rover and Cernan set a lunar land speed record of 11.2 miles per hour. The duo spent a total of 22 hours outside the lunar lander on the surface. Their first extra-vehicular activity was three times longer than the total amount of time Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent on the surface during Apollo 11. They collected almost 250 pounds of samples from the moon. On December 14, Cernan stepped off the moon as he and Schmitt rejoined Evans in the command module orbiting above. Five days later, the command module returned to Earth, splashing down in the South Pacific near American Samoa. The astronauts were recovered by the USS Ticonderoga and were safely aboard 52 minutes after landing. Our question: The first and last men on the moon earned degrees from what university?   Today is unofficially World Monkey Day and National Bouillabaisse Day. It’s the birthday of Great Britain’s George VI, who was born in 1895; author Shirley Jackson, who was born in 1916; and actress Patty Duke, who was born in 1946. This week in 1972, the top song in the U.S. was “Me and Mrs. Jones” by Billy Paul. The No. 1 movie was “Lady Sings the Blues,” while the novel “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Richard Bach topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.
